About the ITC
|
This course is designed for outdoor and medical professionals interested in instructing WMTC medical courses. Potential candidates must apply for and complete our 18-day Instructor Training Course and apprenticeship. The ITC is demanding and will prepare graduates to enter the apprentice program, where they practice and fine-tune their instruction until they are ready to lead courses. Preparation for the ITC is challenging and requires ~80+ hours of work. Instructor candidates are preassigned specific lecture topics, skill sessions, and simulations to present during the ITC. The course culminates with the instructor candidates co-teaching a standard Wilderness First Aid course with their instructor trainer.
